He’ll be missed — oh, baby, will he. So sorry to hear that Bob Cole died last night in his hometown, St. John’s, Newfoundland, aged 90. The inimitable Hockey Night In Canada play-by-play man worked his last NHL game in 2019 from Montreal’s Bell Centre, with the Canadiens host the Toronto Maple Leafs. His very first call? That was 55 years ago yesterday when, on Thursday, April 24, 1969, he was in voice in a CBC radio broadcast booth as Montreal beat the hometown Boston Bruins 2-1 in double overtime. Jean Béliveau scored the winner (the only overtime goal of his career) to wrap-up a Stanley Cup semi-final in six games.
